    Do I Hear An Amen?

    Contributed by James Groce on Jul 17, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 5,997 views

    In Scripture the word “Amen” comes from both Greek and Hebrew and is transliterated; which means there is no word in our language that can be interpreted exactly...so we used their word and in this case it is AMEN. It is variously translated Surely, Sure, Truth, Verily and Amen! Bullinger says ...read more

    Our access to God is not by ceremonial ritual but the sacrifice of Christ.

    We have differing standards on what we consider “clean” and “unclean.” A lot depends on how meticulous we are. For some of us, when we drop a cookie, we follow the “5-second rule” (this was tested recently on Mythbusters). When I lived in Germany, everything was spotless--you could eat off the ...read more
